Hidden Darkness

Hangman

A game so simple

But yet meaningful.

Hangman.

They draw the picture

Pick a word

Guess the letters

And hope for the best.

Hangman.

Guess the letter wrong

Draw a head

He's hanging on a rope

He's already dead.

Hangman.

They continue the game

They are almost done

The drawings complete

They've already won

But they don't think about that

Hangman.

He's not just a drawing

He has meaning

Every wrong letter

Kills him.

Same way in society

A word can kill

Leave them hanging

Ever so still

Like a

Hangman.
